While i wouldnt be as angry i'd still be very disappointed in the player, but i just can't believe he did it and right in front of him as well </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

such a hyporcrite, you're either disgusted, you can't say yeah but it's Wayne so it's sort of okay, you either agree or disagree.

"idiot" - yes

Most despicable human being ever to step foot on a football pitch as the Sun would have you believe - no

Just for the record, Pirlo so so so good.

[BBB]

Naw, don't sell him to another English club, aside from that I don't care who he goes to but it must be for the biggest amount.

Seriously stop chasing Carrick. His value of £16m+ is just ridiculous. Lets go snap Hargreaves up for around £6-8m </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

wts.

£16m, for christs sake. Could get Hargreaves and mebbe Maschereno for that </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hope your not saying combined! There's no place for that sort of optimism here.

Not meaning to p*ss on your fire or anything Taz, as I agree, Defoe's not great. But in pre-season Spurs have been playing a 4-3-1-2 formation, with Keane in behind both Defoe and Berbatov. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

"The system gave Spurs' flair players the stage to express their attacking prowess however boss Martin Jol insisted that the 4-3-3 was deployed as a fitness, rather than a tactical exercise."

Actually, to be serious for a minute, if you took away the acrimony of the way he left, i think a lot of Celtic fans would take Miller back. While i was never convinced he'd be quite good enough for us, he's certainly a much better player than we ever saw. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I assume you'd have put a safety wink in there if allowed?

£8.2m being reported and supposedly hes already agreed terms.

high price as usual. he has only just turned 30 in july but it wouldnt be a united purchase if we werent getting bent over.

I'm pretty sure he still wanted him during the 04/05 season when Ruud first put his transfer request in.

I'll us again on Football First and make sure that Ole goal is taped. Then the Chelsea game I suspect.

I DARE YA!

[14AlanSmithifb]

I can see it being:

Kuszack

O'Shea

Brown

Silvestre

Henize

Fletcher

David Jones

Richardson

Ronnaldo

Smithy

Ole

That looks strong enough to deal with Crewe and gives our players have have been playing regularly rested.

P.S. What an Stike Force

[pjburrage]

IF we don't get Hargreaves, I say we stay looking in Germany. Borowski or Frings would be perfect for that role.

As for a striker, obviously Huntelaar or Torres should be first choice in any transfer window, but if we need someone in January to help with the league campaign then again Germany and Bremen might be the location, and Miroslav Klose.

As for a winger, cannot thionk of many potential targets out there - Babel and Ribery the only ones of the top of my head.

[Nick OGS20]

an unchanged team, a ruud lovefest and f**king meatloaf, this page officially can't get any better

If Carrick ever puts in a performance like last night for Man Utd expect me to slaughter him for 27 pages.

It amazes me how the BBC have always raved about Carrick being great for England when hes been crap for them from the start in my opinion.

Last night he was back to the panic passing where he just whacked it anywhere almost before it had even reached him as if the ball would explode if he held on to it for more than a second.

Thank god hes been pretty damn good for us as of late but last night reminded me a lot of when he first joined us although he never had a game that bad.

[No Longer Bling]

quay 5, bit further down

[Razor Eddie]

Yes but, Gerard, you are not as good as either Rio or Vida. Shame, but there's the bottom line.

[Confused Clarity]

regardless, it's disconcerting that people describe people who look even vaguely arabic as being part of the "taliban" even in a joking sense.

Which is what Bling was refering to with the "racist" comment. I think.

So far it's Broadsheets 2-1 Tabloids in the "we linked them to United first" prediction stakes game.

The Broadsheets opened the scoring with The Times knocking in a great Hargreaves before The Daily Mail responded for The Tabloids with an Anderson from Porto. Unfortunately for them The Broadsheets responded almost immediately with The Guardian grabbing a quick Nani.

Interestingly enough, even though we’re still in the early stages of the game, The Tabloids have peppered their opponents with twice as many attempts to get on the score-sheet but they've lacked the clinical finishing of their more refined opponents.

That’s not the whole story though! Six efforts have disrupted the game as individuals from Alternative Media Sources have sought to impose themselves on proceedings by storming the pitch and making themselves heard amidst what is traditionally an affair reserved for these two old rivals! Well we are in the age of new media I suppose...

It’s sad to say that there have been a few casualties among the watching public as six onlookers have been taken out in the process through so many wayward efforts by all those who have taken part so far. How many more will fall before the game finishes on August 31st? Who knows…

…yes it’s Sunday afternoon and I’m very bored…
